On Android, support time is insanely crap.

But when Apple support does end, it's game over. I picked up an iPad 2 (from 2011), it's perfectly capable hardware, although a bit slow, but it's only usable for browsing HN and viewing PDFs because one can't upgrade the goddam browser or install an alternative one. Updates ended in 2015, mostly.

I could upgrade a One Plus X released in 2015 to Android 7 (Lineage 14.1). An old version, but everything is perfectly usable. Browsers are at their latest versions. Before this, the phone was on stock Android 6, the latest Firefox ran on it. Still bad, because there's no security upgrade, but unofficial builds for the latest versions of Lineage exist on this phone (they will never be official because the goddam kernel can't be upgraded, and newer versions are necessary to support features mandatory for being official, including the way disk encryption is managed).

Anyway, phones and tablets are in a sad state overall. They become e-waste way too soon. Android and iOS both have horrible support time. Not more than a few years of updates (with FairPhone probably being the best here, but still a few years). And anything else is pretty much unusable, at least for phones. In comparison, PCs can be upgraded pretty much forever, at least on Linux. Phone constructors are doing this to themselves through lack of standardization and vendor lock in, but I guess they are happy enough with the situation.
I was confused for a moment as the Live Multicam sounds very similar to Crye's camouflage called... Multicam. And in my minds eye I saw the camo being applied to people on Videos as some form of post processing, which sounds absolutely useless.
Tangential: at my first company out of uni we worked on software that ran in cars. I had never heard the term "smoke test" during my studies, and for quite a while I thought we were running tests (diagnostics) to check if the car was smoking.
Comments moved to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40286085.
I think the problem is seeing it as an investment. Most people won't say a car is an investment but rather a cost - the investment is transportation and its value is gained external to the sell price of the car. The home itself really ought to be considered a cost, while the land and property as a whole may (but not necessarily) be an investment.

It produces a dividend of shelter for the owner. Assuming labor and material prices are fixed, the asset should be depreciating in value from wear and use which would all point to flat or lowering value.

Assuming that it must make returns, one or more of the following must be true:

* Labor price increases

* Material price increases

* Land value increases
That's not true. Hardware gives them the ability to create a monopoly on game publishing/distribution, which is why console games have always been so expensive. The platform holder can charge high fees to developers and demand high prices from consumers. That's nothing unique to the game industry.

Microsoft has said they're trying to focus more on software, but that focus is on gamepass not games themselves. They want that monopolized platform without the burden of having to sell Xboxes (which consumers have rejected time and time again), which obviously would be very lucrative for them. It's why they've been throwing so much money at devs to entice them to put their games on gamepass, and why they spent such a ludicrous amount of money on Activision despite the Xbox business being such a dud. They believe games are destined to become like video streaming industry, and want to be the Netflix for games.

Now I'm talking out of my ass here, but I think there might be some kind of internal metric at Microsoft that rewards execs that chase monopolization. It's either that, or they're really so incompetent over there that nobody has noticed how bad Xbox leadership is at their jobs. The peak of Xbox success was the 360, and I think that was mostly because Sony got the pricing completely wrong for the PS3 at launch (and even then, lifetime sales of PS3 surpassed the 360)
> Not sure what you mean by a fairy tale definition of a promised land, we are talking about actual land that they've actually lived in for thousands of years (though naturally not all of it continuously, after the Roman exile not that many Jews were left.

This is false, there's a reason for modern Palestinians and modern Jews sharing around the same genetic material with ancient Israelites, and that is conversion. The conflation of the ethnic group and the religious group is where your entire argument falls apart. What you are arguing for is not just an ethni-nationalist state, it is one steeped in religion, which is as good as any definition for fascism.
This article is just as valid if you ran :%s/Rails/Django/g.

I use Django to run both www.fpgajobs.com and www.firmwarejobs.com and love it.
I think the iPad hardware has been outstanding for many years. It's the software which is is limiting it constantly. They should let us put macOS or Linux on it. Or be able to do full on dev work (I realize some dev work is possible). If I could do my iOS and Android app dev on iPad, it would be instant buy.
Yes, in many rpc/serialization systems, we need to serialize class name, field names, package names. So we can supprrt dynamic deserialization, type forward/backward compatibility. In such cases, those meta may took more bits than the actual data, this is where meta string bring gains
The science behind why the world is getting wetter
My parents always tell me I waste so much money by going to restaurants all the time and that taxis are absurd luxury - yeah but my taxi costs 3x less than in the hometown, my restaurant meal is 1/2 cheaper and much better than anything I could make myself (or buy anywhere in the hometown) - and in this city I can actually spend the time working and making a lot of additional income instead of killing time in a shopping mall and cleaning.
I think so too. Especially after the split from iOS to ipados. Hopefully they'll show something during this year's WWDC
Yes; in my blog post and in the docs, the headless setup method is mentioned. Assuming you have a GUI-enabled installation of Pi OS, you can SSH into the Pi and install rpi-connect, then run:

rpi-connect signin

This will give you a URL to copy and paste into a browser. Authenticate with your Pi ID, and then the Pi will be connected.
I wish they would stop doing this weird release cycle where some of their tablets don't get the updated chips. It's really frustrating. Makes me hesitant to buy a tablet if I feel like it could get an upgrade a week later or whatever.

Last I heard, carmakers are moving away from touchscreens.

Because you can't use them without taking your eyes off the road.
Wald, §12.1, footnote 1.

Alternatively, and thinking purely classically, if we do t -> -t, what happens to a perfect absorber, which takes in anything and reflects nothing impinging on it? It should spit out arbitrary things and reflect everything impinging on it. (Here I'm thinking of the Poynting vector for plane waves with their origin below the photon sphere and moving outwards vs just above the antihorizon and moving inwards -- the latter can't enter the WH).

(Maybe easier to think about if the BH absorption isn't total, like if we spin the black hole and have the plane waves (or their polarization) move against the rotation, and the WH is just time reversed -- the WH emits a bit of radiation which joins more outside the antihorizon, and the combination flies off to infinity, and not thinking too hard about the interior metric; although Wald deals with much of this in the text around eqn (12.4.18)).
Where is 64GB coming from?
I have an iPad Pro that sees infrequent use, but when I do use it, it is excellent. Its primary purpose is making music (background music for a podcast), but on occasion I also use it to sketch out ideas, and sometimes to create polished illustrations. It's not great for everything, but it's amazing at a few things.
“The public’s perception of this depends on a handful of mysterious writers”

There, just as dumb and uninformed.
I think this is called "Kyoto-style slow drip" coffee. I agree with you that the contraption should be in plain view of the customers!

I remember being really interested in a cup of Kyoto-style one day, only to be told to make a reservation and come back tomorrow... it was worth the wait.
Similar for me (except I've got an Android tablet for just displaying music). For many people who use web apps for daily tasks (admin), conferencing and one or two somewhat CPU intensive apps, or apps like Procreate, the iPad is perfect. For devs, it just doesn't work.
I think if you do a lot of drawing it makes sense, but otherwise not really. The only reason I bought the pro was for Face ID and it's a great product, but generally I need a Mac to complete any real work.
> Some arguments are that you shouldn’t be able to create appliances, only general purpose machines.

I sincerely hope that you live as much of your life in that world as possible.

Meanwhile, I'll enjoy having a car I don't have to mess with every time I start it up.
> Even if we've managed to rebuild and patch Hyper-V Manager from source, this is not enough for a real community project to take place. As much as I would like to just upload the decompiled source code to GitHub to start making significant changes to it, there's no legal standing for this project

I did almost exactly the same thing with Microsoft Reporting Services / ReportViewer several years ago, but decided to go a step further and published whole thing on a GitHub and uploaded packages for .NET Core/5/6/7/8 to NuGet - both platform controlled by Microsoft.

Both repo and packages are still up. Only legal inquires came from other companies asking if they can really use it. For reasons I cannot fathom, Microsoft MVPs and community managers direct anyone asking for .NET Core version of ReportViewer to my recompiled package and sources, with links all over Microsoft's forums, reddit and Q&A sites. GitHub analytics shows some visitors come via direct links from docs.microsoft.com.

I guess Microsoft just doesn't care. Hell, they allow scripts for one-click product activation bypass to be hosted on GitHub.
Hopefully economists are not scratching their heads but armchair economists may be. What is said on the news may not always be the large change some may expect and it could be false yet they got someone-anyone on a show to say it was true.

There are real estate investment trusts available to invest in that perform quite well. A recent statistic for a major city: 40% of homes are unoccupied.

We need to look into failed states that diverge from us to see what could happen or may be done to prevent it.
Anyone has experience with CAD modeling in Shapr3d with the Pencil? Does it make sense buying this device for this purpose?
However matmat is done, row-major vs column-major for both matrices shouldn't make a difference (for square matrices at least).

I don't know if tiling is done for matvec. I don't think it makes sense there, but I didn't think about it too hard.

>Literally never seen this argument be made.

From TFA:

"Earn more: If you feel like you will be forever priced out of the housing market, start finding ways to earn more. I know this won’t help in the short run, but raising your income is the best thing you can do to improve your financial situation in the long run. If you have both Saturday and Sunday off every single week, then there is no excuse to get started on something that can eventually increase your earnings."
With every new iPad they release I'm hopeful they add a support for virtualization. If I could run linux in a docker on an iPad I would switch to it as my main computing instantly, but as of right now I don't see a reason to upgrade what's basically a glorified ebook reader and Netflix player.
This is standard stuff for $BigCorpAnnouncementDay. Usually we downweight the lesser ones but it takes time.
The main cultural touchstones are disproportionately concentrated in a few books too, you can get a lot of them with just a dozen or two hours of reading.

Genesis specifically is packed with common references, can be read in a few hours, and is fairly engaging and accessible as a coherent piece of literature in its own right.

Ecclesiastes is like five pages and possibly the most quoted thing across european cultures. So many literary references and even common idioms come from there.

After that any one synoptic gospel + john + acts will set you up to catch a lot of christianity-specific cultural references. And then revelation imagery comes up a ton in pop culture, music, film & tv.

All of what I mentioned is about the length of a medium-short novel and would set you up to catch probably the majority of allusions to the bible. You'd be missing some major stuff like moses, david & solomon, plus a bunch of misc but influential stories like jonah & the whale, samson etc. But for bang for your buck it would get you pretty far.
How are embeddings affecting traditional text search?
Robocop Rogue City was amazing. If you max out the psychology, you start giving back sassy replies to everyone and become sass cop it's great.

They really built on the Terminator Engine they used earlier.
Actually, TSMC's N3E process is somewhat of a regression on the first-generation 3nm process, N3. However, it is simpler and more cost-efficient, and everyone seems to want to get out of that N3 process as quickly as possible. That seems to be the biggest reason Apple released the A17(M3) generation and now the M4 the way they did.

The N3 process is in the A17 Pro, the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max. The A17 Pro name seems to imply you won't find it trickle down on the regular iPhones next year. So we'll see that processor only this year in phones, since Apple discontinues their Pro range of phones every year; only the regular phones trickle downrange lowering their prices. The M3 devices are all Macs that needed an upgrade due to their popularity: the Macbook Pro and Macbook Air. They made three chips for them, but they did not make an M3 Ultra for the lower volume desktops. With the announcement of an M4 chip in iPads today, we can expect to see the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro upgraded to M4 soon, with the introduction of an M4 Ultra to match later. We can now expect those M3 devices to be discontinued instead of going downrange in price.

That would leave one device with an N3 process chip: the iMac. At its sale level, I wouldn't be surprised if all the M3 chips that will go into it will be made this year, with the model staying around for a year or two running on fumes.
Of course, but preference and efficiency are different things: people who like living in cities have all the rights to clearly state that, as a personal preference, as I state mine, but they can't describe their life as efficient or ecological since that's definitively not the case.

We do many inefficient things just because we like them, just think how absurd is smoking tobacco. Smokers have all the right to state "it's a pleasure for me", but a pleasure does not means automatically a good, sustainable and efficient thing. Personally I really like smoked salmon, however I life far from salmons natural environment, I still buy it because I can, but of course I know it's a very inefficient and absurd practice (specially since I know a bit the supply chain).
Use ASP.NET Core instead. Just as convenient for small projects, ten times as fast and very robust as the product keeps growing.
There’s probably easier problems to solve in the ARM space than x86 considering the amount of money and time spent on x86.

That’s not to say that any of these problems are easy, just that there’s probably more lower hanging fruit in ARM land.
Definitely would love to see more SQLite adoption, but hosting isn't as straightforward as it should be depending on your hosting choice (e.g. Heroku)

Also had slight issues with concurrent writes on SQLite though potentially things like a SQLite per user would be neat especially when it comes to backup/recovery
I thought M3 and M4 were different processes though. Higher yield for the latter or such.
Losing a few hundred grand is quite a bit more concrete than a “feeling”, it is a devastating failure and may derail someone’s life. Suicide level failure, drug abuse type failure.

Just to put a finer point on it
I suspect you'd find the same thing if you were a python or php consultant diving into python or php projects.
Private equity will only benefit if the supply of housing is artificially restricted or they are able to capture a substantial portion of the market. Both these problems can be solved by adjusting the local regulatory levers to make construction easy and collusion/anticompetitive behavior hard.

"Buying an entire development" is arguably anticompetitive behavior and can be prevented by the government.
While it's true that Japan and Italy are the only two major developed countries suffering actual decline, basically all of the big wealthy countries are experiencing fertility below replacement.

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?location...

Fertility, total births per woman 2021

Australia 1.7

EU 1.5

UK 1.6

Japan 1.3

Korea 0.8

US 1.7

Replacement fertility is estimated at 2.1. Countries with below replacement fertility are growing based on immigration.

Jokes on them, I just won’t use the tool, or I’ll spend tens of my potentially revenue generating hours trying to get it working in emacs
I'm still rocking an iPad 6th generation. It's a video consumption device only. A faster CPU doesn't enable any new use cases.

The only reason is the consumer's desire to buy more.
How did you get CrewAI working with Llama3? I have got it working by adding "num_predict=128" to the model ChatOllama(), but it's so slow! Any tricks or tips?
Protobuf only support varint encoding, fury supports that too. But IMO, protobuf use utf-8 for string encoding. Could you share more details how protobuf compress string.
Because before you know it you're Dell and you're stocking 18 different variants of "Laptop, 15 inch screen, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD" and users are scratching their heads trying to figure out WTF the difference is between a "Latitude 3540" a "Latitude 5540" and a "New Latitude 3550"
Apple's sections about the environment in their announcements always makes me feel like I'm being gaslit as they mention anything but repair and supporting the consumer's right to reduce and re-use
To be fair all you need to actually make cold brew is a pitcher and a cheesecloth or some other filter. The absence of an apparatus does not make it fake.
Tha main reasons I own an (11") iPad Pro are, you can write on it, which is really damn useful, you can wedge it places like tables on planes easier, it weighs hardly anything and you can charge it off a phone charger. Plus being TB based I can suck stuff off my camera without a dongle or any of that faff.

But yeah an MBA is more powerful, but it doesn't have those attributes.

If I was to start again I'd buy a bottom end Mac Studio for the 32Gb RAM baseline config, hang some TB drives off it and use the iPad as my "portable" computer.
It better be better than tesla or any other self-driving tech currently present
> Any iPad with a USB-C port supports video capture via UVC. This allows you use devices like the El Gato Cam Link for as a video source.

While that's true, that's neither what the PR describes in text nor depicts in video.
We will have M4 laptops running 400B parameter models next year. Wild times.
And Fury meta string are not used to compress data plane , it's used to compress meta in data plane.
My company (large, well known tech co) actively instructs engineers to not use concurrency features, in a language that is known for having "great concurrency", unless they have a really, really good reason to.

The vast, vast majority of workloads, especially at small startups, do not need a concurrency story outside of running N processes. Concurrency often gets in the way more than it helps unless you're actively trying to optimize something.

My opinion, of course.
> The 15 Pro Max's cost-to-price ratio, or the cost of the parts divided by the phone's price, came to 47%, a 1 percentage point increase from the 14 Pro Max

Your claim is contradicted by the article you linked.
I looked up "transducer" and it seems to be what you'd need. But! You seem to have found where I was wrong: the horn. The horn seems to be the actual expensive part here. They could start a business I guess selling these en-masse. If anyone has any ideas how a maker could create this within reason please reply.
I suppose I just got lucky, using my primary doctor to refer me to services, and doing the research to find which referral docs were covered.

Oddly enough, I had the exact opposite experience recently, doc's billing dept said specific medical appliance would not be covered so I had to pay out of pocket, only to find out later it was reimbursed by insurance and I got refunded for my out of pocket cost.
I don't see how that changes the fundamental issue. You have to have a huge amount of capital to even get this idea off the ground. Say your rent in nyc is $3500/month, that means you'd need around a million dollars in your savings to get started.
An M4 in an iPad. It feels like the hardware between an M* Macbook Air and the M* iPads is really about the same (maybe screen differences, a keyboard) and memory. That said, the real hinderance / differentiator(?) is what the OS allows you to do with the device.
I'm talking about top level comments, which are essentially replies to the linked article itself; I assume you are too. If you're talking about replies to comments, I more or less agree with you.

But to me, if a top level comment doesn't address a single thing in the parent article, it may not be necessary to post it in a thread about that article in the first place. Occasionally I see interesting, novel comments by people who probably haven't read the article, but the most common case is that I see tired retreads of ongoing culture wars, or warmed-over, extremely basic opinions. It's much more interesting to me when HN sometimes engages with a particular text rather than just opening the window and lets the rest of the (godforsaken) internet fly in.

Or, that the commenter gives an opinion about something which is directly addressed in the article. Or, that the commenter has clearly misunderstood the point of the article because they've only read the headline, so they are wasting time arguing about something totally unrelated to it.
In this specific case, it's because iPad's never got the M3. They're literally comparing it with the previous model of iPad.

There were some disingenuous comparisons throughout the presentation going back to A11 for the first Neural Engine and some comparisons to M1, but the M2 comparison actually makes sense.

Losing power in a ship that spends almost its entire life in the open ocean is much less risky than losing power in an airplane though. Its reasonable that expectations, regulations, and maintenance schedules differ there.

I have nothing good to say for oil spills though. I was interning st Exxon's upstream research department when the BP oil spill happened in the gulf. What I heard from many people that had been there for a a long time amounted to no one being too surprised given how the industry works and how much is outsourced. They also (rightfully) expected the main concern to be PR. Exxon researchers were the ones to give BP the chemicals to coagulate the oil into globs and sink it just below the surface. They were really proud of it at the time, though having family on the Gulf Coast I was less impressed with the solution or the tar balls that washed up on the beach for years.
